Hi All, It's nearly time for Whitby! The festival you have all been eagerly anticipating all year! There's a lot of info, but I've tried to keep it simple. I've attached the schedule to this one as we all need that to know where to be. At the start of each day please *make sure you arrive at the first spot 15 minute before scheduled* so Becky can let us know the plan for the day. Should anything change this will be communicated via WhatsApp. *Arrival:* - If you are camping you will get your ticket on arrival when you register at the campsite. - If you are not camping, then you will need to collect your ticket on Saturday from the Festival Office at Whitby Spa Pavilion from 11am, there will be a specific Dance Team desk to start with. -->* If you arrive after Saturday and are not camping, then collect your ticket from the Festival Office on the Spa Mezzanine between 0930 and 1730. 🎫* The campsite is at the Rugby Club on White Leys Road, YO21 3PB and opens from 2pm on Friday. ⛺ *Itinerary:* - Please find attached a list of all our spots. Assume we will be doing extra dancing in pubs after the spots are over every day. - Crawls on are Saturday night starting in the Whitby Brewery near the Abbey starting at 7.30 (led by Katherine) and Monday (led by Patrick) - Yoof club workshop on Sunday at 2pm, estimated up to 20 10-18 year olds. We'll have to suss it when we're there. Rules for children mean not touching them to show them where to go, or if you really can't explain then ask permission to lead them physically. No drinking and don't be drunk already. No swearing. - Thursday standard workshop will be stepping workshop as discussed previously. We'll consider this more once we're there. - Final Friday is the ceilidh spot which we will run through at some point Monday onwards. - Tuesday is our day off, you're free to do whatever. *Other events:* - Rapper who's crapper 4.15 Dock End (prepare for madness) - Beck Hole Wednesday night, we'll plan getting to and from once we're there. - Themed ceilidh: we'll assemble costumes at the Ravens house on the Thursday before we head to the ceilidh. Times TBC. Remember to wear black underneath. *Other:* - *Collecting:* If you're not dancing you need to be collecting. Buckets need to be collected from the Festival Office each day (this job will be allocated once we're there but if a Friday night arriver can get our buckets and WhatsApp to confirm that'd be great for Sat) - final collections need to be in by 12 noon on Friday 23rd to count to our score. Yes, there is a prize. - *Drunk and disorderly: *Becky has the say on if your too drunk to dance, she will make you pay for this the next day. If you need a break because you're a. drunk b. tired or c. broken just let Becky know. If you have any issue around the team/how many dances you've done etc. talk to Becky. It she's the issue she recommends talking to Ffion or Katherine who have been in charge and might understand her madness and also can actually approach her to stop XD (Becky's words not mine!) - *Kit:* Bring kit, spare kit so you're not gross, branded t-shirts and hoodies, super glue and polish. Sun cream and waterproofs. See you in Whitby! Hannah

Tonight

by Becky Such

Hi all, Sorry for late email today! Absences: Rachel, Miriam and Laura. I'm hoping that's it? Clog - work on the clog again, if you're unsure on anything please bring to the practice so we can stamp out final mistakes lol we'll also run through old clog again. Rapper - practice the ceilidh spot, in particular the double jubilee, figuring out how they join together. Rachel my aim is to keep you where you were last week. Ffion we will run through this at Whitby at some point, but assume won't be a problem for you. Triple jump with Ellie, Emma, Tori, HTD and Hannorah who all seem relatively happy. Ideally get this into a dance so we can do it out at some point at Whitby while we have lots of room and there aren't many people around! If people really aren't confident I won't push this and we will aim for September crawl instead. Generally go through dances to make sure we're confident, remembering some of the stuff we went through last week to iron out issues. If we have time I want to put Tori through at 4 for Jubilee and maybe even 6 Westerhope (depending how it all goes). Let me know if you have anything else. We'll also be sorting out practicalities of Whitby so hopefully everyone will be clear with everything they need to know! Thanks, Becky

There is life beyond the Summer

by Hannah Norman

Hi All, Hopefully you have all sorted travel to Whitby and arranged any kit swaps by now. We'll have a full on exciting Whitby email next week, so given that September will come around very quickly once we've come back, we need to give some attention to our Autumn events. (We're also getting asked about whether we are going to some of them or not.) I think Rachel/Laura are trying some coordination on getting the stash to Whitby for the start of the festival, however if this doesn't quite work and you need stash, you may need to consider collecting whatever you do need from Laura's house. So, *Crawls* - September especially - we need to keep up the momentum to remain awesome. October, we may decide to rearrange if 31st genuinely is Brexit Day, but if you could sign up as if it isn't for the time being. *Bath Time!* (This looks more likely than Dance around the World the day after, but if you fancy both, please do sign up to that too.) 26th October - was a lot of fun last time and Northgate are very keen on us going. *Thrales Day* (8-10 November) - our local friendly team turn 25 this year and are having a weekend of dance to celebrate. In addition to our usual Sunday dancing with them, we have been invited out during the day and evening of the Saturday. (There are also welcome drinks for the teams from further afield on the Friday night, but if you can't make it it isn't essential). Please fill yourselves in, and if you can only do one day, please say this. Sign-up sheet here as always: https://docs.google.com/document/d/11XHQc6j0g7HQto7rhOs6k0bfkw-XmFb8jmCeRa4… Thanks, Hannah

Last night and crawls, ceilidh spot and kit at Whitby

by Becky Such

Hi guys, Thanks to those who could make it last night! 1. What we worked on 2. Ceilidh spot for Whitby 3. Crawls at Whitby 4. Whitby KIT 1. For those who missed it we worked on: * J: clash, which I will recap next week for those who have missed it * J: Single guard, relaxed hands, again I'll recap * J: Hoops, walking around with pace and ensuring turning out on 1 or 5 * J: Spin, stopping neatly * W: Single guard to make the lock work properly. It's just all about pushing around with pace * W: triple jump (trying next week with Ellie, Emma, HTD, Tori and Hannorah to see if happy for occasional stints at Whitby * W: Fastknot, we really need to power through the curlys and this will put us in the right position to lock. It also looks 100% better! 2. Ceilidh spot at Whitby: Worked out getting lots of people into hoops, out of it and 4th corner, open ring, lock. --> we need to work on it next week to make sure we're happy with all the movements. I know not everyone is there next week but hoping to have at least 11 people. If you're going to Whitby but won't be there on Monday please let me know. (Not Ffion or Rachel obviously) I'm working through numbers for who will be dancing what and how that will impact on them at the spot. 3. Whitby crawls Hannah sent round the schedule last week, but essentially Tuesday onwards is a write-off as we have Tues as day off, Wednesday Beck Hole, Thursday fancy dress ceilidh and then Friday collections wouldn't count. I'm proposing we crawl on Sat/ Sun and then Monday. I know it's close together but seems to be the only time we have. Monday will also mean we're boosted by Ffion, Hannorah and Pat! However, with Martin not being available until 8-8.30 this would put rather a lot of pressure on Pat! Considering Martin has other commitments Sunday 5-7 and then will need to eat (or collapse mid-crawl!) I would endorse Saturday. We will discuss on Monday and go with the majority 🙂 4. Kit IF YOU DON'T HAVE KIT YOU HAVE UNTIL MONDAY TO SORT IT OUT. HANNORAH, FFION WILL NEED HER PETTICOAT SO YOU NEED SOMEONE ELSES! Thanks all, Becky Becky

by Becky Such

Hi folks, Thanks for a fab Cambridge to those who came along! I'll try to keep people who were there from having to do too much high energy stuff but, as always, please just tell me if you are flagging and need a rest or are raring to go and want to DANCE DANCE DANCE. Absences: Sue, Ellie, Miriam, Clare anyone else please let me know. If you're at Whitby it's particularly good that you could be there! 7 - clog. I'm going to look at the clog video Hannah sent through (thanks again) and figure out where the stylistic stuff is failing so we can focus on that. We don't have Ellie but I feel like we can fend for ourselves 🙂 7.30 Rapper. More thoughts have happened re. combining two jubilee sets so, if we have enough people, we'll work on this because if we can make something work it'll be amazing! If it all goes wrong we can still defo do double jubilee (lets be honest, everyone loves it). I also want to look at the clash - definite improvement with work from last week but know some people weren't there and it doesn't feel totally confident. I'd also like to do single guard again to remind everyone of style points and hoops as people aren't turning out at the right time. Westerhope I want to do single guard as we were nowhere near being able to lock, ever. We also want to feature triple jump in Westerhope so want to work on putting it in the dance (discussed order at Cambridge but need to make it work!). If we simply aren't happy we can do it in time for Whitby this will be the priority for September. With two weeks left until Whitby there's not a lot of time to prepare so do shout up if there is something you want to work on before then! Please look at Bath time and Thrales day, maybes please try and move yourself to a yes or no. https://docs.google.com/document/d/11XHQc6j0g7HQto7rhOs6k0bfkw-XmFb8jmCeRa4… Thanks, Becky

Travel to Cambridge

by Becky Such

Hi all, I've started digging around at travel to Cambridge so thought I could help you all out (for those going by train). So: 1. Train to Cambridge, these all look to take 1 hour 30. 2. Then you can get a bus from the station to Cherry Hinton Hall (festival site). You can go for free is you download and print a bus ticket from here: https://www.cambridgelive.org.uk/tickets/events/complimentary-bus-voucher-c… (on the right are options of which day you want to book, it says at time 23.00 but think that's a glitch. These seem to take 15-30 mins. 3. From the main festival site you can then get a free festival bus. These are every 15 mins and then take 10-15 minutes. 4. Showing your pass that was forwarded to each of you and you have printed you can then get on the campsite, set up your tent (potentially in an allocated place) get into kit 5. Then get the free festival bus back to the festival site For your info: Bus timetables https://www.cambridgelive.org.uk/sites/default/files/public/wysiwyg/Folk%20… Please note you can download the free bus ticket twice (one to get to the main site on Friday/Saturday and one to get you back on the Sunday) ****PLEASE BEAR IN MIND HOW LONG ALL OF THIS WILL TAKE. AT THE MOMENT ALMOST ALL OF YOU ARE ARRIVING ON SATURDAY SO CANNOT AFFORD TO BE LATE. I estimate your journey from London train station to the campsite will take 2.15-2.30 hours, plus tent time, changing time and getting back to festival site. You're probably looking at 3.30 hours. And you might have to factor in getting your artist wristband before you're allowed on site.**** Seriously...just come camp on the Friday and make me feel less stressed 😋 Inside voice...soz guys, just foreseeing stress and disaster. Becky P.s. Friday night has Nancy Kerr, Will Pound (and me!)

Whitby and AOB

by Hannah Norman

Hi All, Just a brief one on other business.. *Whitby* Please make sure you have made your travel arrangements. If you need help with trains Martin and I are happy to help (maybe ask Martin..). Ellie also has space in her car. Ideally get there on the Friday night as it is a long way and we are due to start at 1215 which won't give you much time (if you aren't arriving on Friday and haven't let Becky know yet, please do). I've attached our current timetable as I know some people are super keen to see it... but I'll be dealing with this properly after Cambridge - there's a bit more info to go with it. Katherine sent around beautiful jellyfish related costume stuff and is ordering things - we'll put costumes together on Tuesday of Whitby, which is our day off. *Post Summer* Please fill in the sign-up sheet - September and October will come round pretty quickly after Whitby, so look in particular at crawls; Bath Time; and Dance Around The World. https://docs.google.com/document/d/11XHQc6j0g7HQto7rhOs6k0bfkw-XmFb8jmCeRa4… Thanks, Hannah

Cambridge!

by Hannah Norman

Hi All, This weekend we will be dancing at Cambridge Folk Festival. If you'd like to know more about the line-up/please look at the website here: https://www.cambridgelive.org.uk/folk-festival <https://www.cambridgelive.org.uk/folk-festival> The Cambridge Folk Festival | Cambridge Live <https://www.cambridgelive.org.uk/folk-festival> The Cambridge Folk Festival is one of the premier music events in Europe and one of the longest running and most famous folk festivals in the world. www.cambridgelive.org.uk *Getting there* - there are lots of trains to Cambridge, either from Kings Cross (~1hr and I think it was £33.15 railcard return) or Liverpool St (slightly cheaper but takes 1hr 30, costs £25.55 railcard return I think), so take your pick on what suits you best. If you haven't already let Becky know whether you are arriving on Friday evening or Saturday morning please let her know. 🚂 *From the station you will need to get to the campsite at Coldhams Common, this is NOT the same as the festival site.* I've forwarded your* production passes which you need to print*, the official line is that you need a printed version to get on site and one on your phone to get your artist pass (your artist pass will also let us access the Green Room for comfy chairs!). We have camping at Coldhams Common - you will need your artist pass that I forwarded earlier to get onto the site. If you are bringing a vehicle (think that is just Clare and Will) then they have your vehicle passes there too, you'll just need to show your artist pass parking is at Netherhall Upper School. Loads of info on arriving in the attached - please read it. There is a free bus between the festival and camp sites, not sure of the frequency, but they run between 9am and 1am. *Becky is going to try and collect all of the artist passes on Friday so she can just hand the wristbands out on people's arrival. She'll whatsapp to confirm but please do factor in times to get them.* If you are arriving on Saturday please make sure you are there in time to have set yourself up on the campsite and made it over to the festival site at Cherry Hinton in good time to start dancing. *Dancing* 💃- at the moment we are down to do the following spots on Saturday (and Sunday, but should get confirmation of the later one being earlier in the day soon...) 1200-1220; 1330-1350; 1530-1550; and 1830-1850 We may need to be slightly flexible with these as we are filling the gap between acts on the main stage, so may need to be prepared to stop a couple of minutes early. We will then crawl in the evening on Saturday - thanks to Rachel/Hannah TD for hunting down pubs for this. *Other stuff:* BYOB - there is alcohol on site but pretty expensive. No glass is allowed in the arena. Please bring your tankard with you if you have it so we can collect on Saturday night. Cambridge are going plastic free for this, so please bring your reusable water bottles/coffee cups. Hopefully that should cover everything, any questions let me know, and I'll update on timings as soon as I have more information. Thanks, Hannah

Last night

by Becky Such

Hello all, You should have had your passes (which you need to print) through from Hannah and she is sending through a more general info email re. Cambridge. Mainly for the benefit of Hannorah and Rachel who missed last night, we worked on neatening some figures which looked a bit untidy at Warwick, so just to emphasise. 1. Clash - Holding the brass with thumb on one side and finger round the back i.e. BOTH sides. Holding sword flat face on to you and doing the movement neat and small, moving the hand away ever so slightly as clash ensuring the clash remains high. We worked on this because the clashes have been sloppy, but also no. 3 got hit on the head quite a lot (one of my bumps still hurts!) 2. single guard - paced walk around, with energy. Sword hands together of the person turning out to try and keep them flat. Pivots in the middle keeping their hands centred and in the middle of the walkaround. Tension should be relatively loose to keep swords flat 3. Back 8 - Hands together, not ducking and trying to keep the movement smooth. Staying close to the moving set and flicking at front and back 4. Open ring post back 8 - no. 3 getting there in 4 (2 must ensure she has space to get round) 5. Westerhope back lock - remember timings and if you're shorter (sorry Clare!) really reaching up high, making sure nice and close to the rest of the set ***Please note all Jubilee and Piccadilly will just be 5 person versions*** I also did a bit of a moan about actually getting on with things when I ask you to. Most importantly leaving pubs but also getting up and dancing! Looking forward to this weekend! Becky xx

Tonight

by Becky Such

Hello all, Absences: Miriam, sue, Emma, Rachel and Ellie will be there but probably won't dance. Anyone else please let me know. Clog: we're going to need this for Cambridge so want to check who is happy with it. Thought it might be worth Ellie watching to see if all seems ok! Rapper: again, prepping for Cambridge. If you were at Warwick I'm going to rest you as much as possible. Let me know if you need a break and I will do my best. Note that Simon most likely won't come in the set (he isn't able to come to practice so most likely won't want to) so we'll run through the endings to make sure we're happy. I'm looking at numbers for Whitby ceilidh spot and will run through this tonight. I also got some handy info on Cambridge so will fill people in. Thanks, Becky xx Sent from my Huawei phone

Whitby fancy dress!

by Katherine Richardson

Hi all We have been discussing going as a jelly fish swarm as our fancy dress for Whitby. I've attached some pictures of examples for reference. I am thinking of a skirt (and possibly something around the shoulders) as the arms (tentacles). Then either a padded and covered sombrero or an umbrella as the head, decorated with lights tendrils and tentacles. Then maybe some face paint too. Key questions are: Do we want to make them in Ravens colours? Or maybe different colours? Do we want to wear hats or hold umbrellas? I did a quick costing and there isn't much in it in terms of one being cheaper. If you have any ideas or suggestions please let me know! We will discuss in more detail at practice :-) See you later!

Hi Ravens Please fill in this form with your kit choices and sizes *by end of practice MONDAY*: https://forms.gle/zSLERoMHXGjuEiqv8 Please can you all look at this even if you don't want kit as it has a poll about image preference for new business cards at the end too (just skip the kit questions). Thanks Rachel Anne for digging out and cleaning up these images. I need kit choices this by end of practice *MONDAY 29th JULY,* otherwise we run the risk not having it in time for Whitby. Prices will depend on final numbers, but roughly £30 for a hoody and £20 for a t shirt. if you have any questions email me, whatsapp me, or talk to me on Monday night. Please also forward link onto anyone you know needs a hoody who might not be on this list. Ozzy?? Hope you have a great weekend L xxxx

Warwick Folk Festival

by Hannah Norman

Hi All, It's nearly here! 🍸 So, a quick summary of what we're doing. Please note *we will be having a practice on Monday* to do any last bits of prep for Cambridge. One final aside before the excitement of the week, if you have any* fabulous ideas for our Friday LNE ceilidh spot at Whitby,* please pass them onto Becky and *don't forget to sign up to things in the Autumn*, it'll reach us sooner than we think.🍁 But first, the weather at the mo suggests that there might be some showers on Saturday, though it has been changing a bit over the last couple of days, so keep an eye and come prepared! If you have a Ravens hoody, might be worth bringing at least for the evenings. Don't forget your shoe polish and I think everyone should now be all sorted for kit for Warwick - Clare: Emma took a petticoat and a sash from Fliss, and she also has a petticoat for you Ffion. If there are any outstanding kit requirements, please sort yourselves out asap. *Friday* Becky forwarded the info for tickets, so hopefully you're all sorted for that. The pdf will get you in, though I doubt they are that strict on it all. Please enter the site via Gate 3 CV34 6PJ – Green Camping at Myton School. You can camp from Thursday (though would need to buy a ticket see Billy Bragg that night if you wanted), and can stay Sunday night too if you wish as the festival continues into the night on Sunday. Tickets can then be collected from Festival Information at the Bridge House Theatre.* Please put wristbands on your left wrists*.🎪 >From 8pm in the Market Square, dancing with Earlsdon *Saturday* *1st spot at 1145 *in the Swan (so maybe we can have a warm up dance...!), then a couple more spots including the castle - these are all 5 mins, so we'll be expected to hit some pubs in between. After the castle spot we have the procession, after which Becky was suggesting that we could explore the castle for a bit before continuing with dancing *Sunday* We have a spot in the *church service at 1030* followed by a procession. Then we are mostly free to crawl around the pubs (we have a list) before a 5 mins spot on our own and the final spot for turn and turn about which *finishes at 4* at the Arena stage, so can then pack up and head home once we're done there.🚂 I've attached the timetables for Saturday and Sunday in case you wish to see them, and the ticket receipt just in case - I'll have them with me anyway at the weekend. Any more info about Warwick Folk Festival in general can be found here: https://www.warwickfolkfestival.co.uk/ Think that covers it, any questions, please shout! Thanks, Hannah

Warwick ticket - take this with you!

by Becky Such

Saving Hannah a job and forwarding this ticket. This gets you into the campsite and then you need to get wristbands individually. Will gets there first so is hoping to find our spot, keep an eye on whatsapp. Thanks, Becky ________________________________ From: TowerRavensInfo <towerravensinfo-bounces(a)lists.postman.org.uk> on behalf of Tash Daly <tash.daly(a)warwickfolkfestival.co.uk> Sent: 22 July 2019 13:26 To: info(a)towerravens.org.uk <info(a)towerravens.org.uk> Subject: [TR Committee] Tower Ravens Ticket Receipt - Warwick Folk Festival 25-28 July Hello, Thanks for joining us at Warwick Folk Festival this year. We're looking forward to a great weekend. Attached is your Side ticket receipt, please check carefully, and let me know of any problems. If you are able to let me know specific names that'll help at the Box Office. This is your side site entrance ticket, it can be copied for each named person, to allow access to the campsite, and they'll then need to collect their wristband individually from Festival Information at the Bridge House Theatre, once set up. Weekend tickets include camping from Thursday. Weekend tickets will allow you onto site on Thursday, but if you want to go to the Billy Bragg concert in the main marquee, you’ll need to have booked a Thursday ticket. Day tickets allow access to all events on that day - but not camping. We have new entrances again this year - all camping morris sides to use Gate 3 CV34 6PJ – Green Camping (morris & overflow - tents & vans) at Myton School. See map on receipt. The Campsite opens at 1pm on Thursday. For non-campers, Gate 4 is a drop off point in front of the Bridge House Theatre (Festival Box Office).

Fwd: [TR Committee] Tower Ravens Rapper

by Hannah Norman

Hi All, Some photos from Ronnie at Hammersmith DoD. Apologies for my face, though I'm not the only one with the odd funny expression! Hannah :) ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Ronald Galloway via TowerRavensInfo < towerravensinfo(a)lists.postman.org.uk> Date: Fri, 19 Jul 2019 at 16:32 Subject: [TR Committee] Tower Ravens Rapper To: <info(a)towerravens.org.uk> WITH THE PHOTOS THIS TIME- OOPS Hello Tower Ravens Rapper When I turned in the wrong direction out of Hammersmith Underground I didn’t expect to encounter a really nice display of traditional English dancing and to have the chance to photograph it. I’m back home in Scotland at the end of my very enjoyable week’s holiday in London and have got the photos ready for you. I hope you enjoy them. Feel free to make whatever use of them you want. They should look good online. Please credit me if you make use of any of my photos professionally though there is no charge for them.

Warwick & Cambridge

by Hannah Norman

Hi All, First things first we have a crawl on Thursday, probably in Farringdon, but watch out for more info from Laura. Please be at Pub 1 for 1915 so we can do the first dance at half past. *1. Warwick* *2. Cambridge* *1. Warwick* - The best train ticket to get looks to be an off peak ticket, which costs £33 with a railcard - you'll be able to get any train back on the Sunday, so we don't need to worry about what time we actually finish (the Off Peak is cheapest at the mo anyway). Earlsdon have invited us to join them for some dancing around the town on the Friday evening from 8pm. If you think you could be there ready to dance at 8 please let Becky know. Most likely train options are 1647 arrives 1808, 1747 arrives 1909, 1847 arrives 2013. You need to go to Warwick (rather than Parkway) - I think the site is about 20 mins walk from the train station. If you have yet to pay Emma (well TR) for a partner ticket, please do so. Hopefully more details on everything we'll be doing next week. *2. Cambridge -* just finalising times for this.. however I have a form to fill in asap about our camping details. I'm going to assume that everyone is in their own tent apart from Hannah TD, Jo and Rachel who are not camping and the couples. The most important thing though is, if you intend to drive, they need to provide vehicle passes to access the site, which they are going to post... *So, if you think you are going to drive, please send me your reg plate by Thursday 4pm. *I'm not sure what parking in general is like in Cambridge as to whether there are other places to put a car or not. Cambridge are quite keen to calculate their carbon footprint I think... And, just in case, because a business email wouldn't be the same without it, here's the sign-up sheet! https://docs.google.com/document/d/11XHQc6j0g7HQto7rhOs6k0bfkw-XmFb8jmCeRa4… See most of you on Thursday! Thanks, Hannah

Tonight

by Becky Such

Hiya, Absences: Rachel, Hannorah (Fliss expecting to be late) Anyone else let me know! 7-7.30 Clog as normal. Ideally we'll be dancing 2nd one out at Warwick so might be good to record it? I'd also like to run over style points of the one we definitely do know to make sure we all look the same. Rapper: Make sure happy with numbers I have allocated for crawl (please see below and if you're not at practice shout up if I'm wrong!) Tumbling Tori - we have a really productive session around Tori tumbling on Wednesday (thanks to those of you came and helped) I want to see if we can continue that a bit today while another set merrily gets on with some dancing. Also Tori if you can confirm if you are coming to Warwick for definite that would be great. Warwick: For me, I want to run through Jubilee at 1 because I've realised I don't really have the confidence to do it out, making someone else do it all the time, which isn't fair. I'm also sacrificing myself to the Piccadilly God's and will try and learn 5 in the next few weeks. Hannah N I'm assuming a run-through Westerhope 2 would be good, I know you can do it but doesn't happen very often! As well as Piccadilly 3. Hannah TD would like to make sure you're happy on all little details for Piccadilly 2. If we have time we'll do a bit more on triple jump (if someone can recommend where we got to and with who last week!) CRAWL NUMBERS Jubilee: 1: Rachel/Becky/Emma/Jo? 2: HN/HTD/ Tori/ Fliss (if get there in time) /Laura/ R-A?/ Jo 3: HN/HTD/Becky 4:Ellie/Laura/Miriam/Emma? 5:Rachel/Ellie/Emma?/Fliss (if run-through today)/ R-A Westerhope: 1: Ellie/Rachel/Becky 2: Tori/Becky/R-A 3: HN/Becky 4: Fliss (if get there)/ Emma? 5: Rachel/R-A/ Miriam 6: HN/Laura/Jo Piccadilly: 1: Emma 2: HN/HTD 3: HN/Becky 4: Rachel?/ Ellie/ Becky 5: Rachel?/R-A IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION MARK NEAR YOUR NAME PLEASE VERIFY IF YOU ARE HAPPY TO DANCE THAT NUMBER OUT/NEED A RUN-THROUGH FIRST Thanks, Becky

Kimpton

by Hannah Norman

Hi all, just got this from the festival organiser if anyone is interested. Is there someone willing to have their phone number given to him to be the point of contact? Maybe Emma? Not much point it being me as I'm not there... Thanks, Hannah Yes we have decided on a special offer on the evening concert in the Memorial Hall (see map) with Sheelanagig and the Smith Brewer Band. It will be FREE to dancers! Anyone wishing to take up this offer can get a wristband at the Festival Office which will be the gazebo at the Boot Pub. The other evening concert with the Melrose Quartet, in the Church, will be charged normally at £20, BUT as performers you will be entitled to a free Afternoon Ticket which will get you into the any or all of the three concerts during the afternoon, two in the Memorial Hall and one in the Church. I hope that's clear! See you on Saturday! And can you give me your phone number in case I need to contact you on the day?

Hammersmith, Festivals & Kit

by Hannah Norman

Hi All, *1. Coming up this week* *2. Festivals (**mostly Whitby)* *3. Other sign-ups* *4. Kit* *1. This week:* *Tumble practice* in the cafe at AgeUK (Tavis House, 1-6 Tavistock Square, WC1H 9NA) this evening - please get there for 6pm. *Hammersmith are 60!* Please meet at the Swan at 1015 ready to go (right opposite Hammersmith underground), our first spot is at 1030 and we will be with Chinewrde and a Hammersmith team throughout the day, meeting up with more Hammersmith, New Esperence and Mabels for the final spot which will finish at 1730. Still trying to work out who might be able to play for the second to last spot when Martin has to leave. 🎈 *2. Festivals (mostly Whitby)* *Whitby* - reminder to sort your travel out asap as tickets might start to become expensive, and the works at Kings Cross mean a slightly longer route to St Pancras instead. If you need help with your tickets let me or Martin know and we'll see what we can do.🚂 *Camping/tickets - this is your last chance to tell me if you need camping / correct anything in the attached. Please check it and let me know by 10am on Sunday if anything needs changing.* If you are not arriving until Saturday, then please make sure you are there by midday ready to go and have also let Becky know. If you have any bright ideas for our LNE ceilidh spot on the Friday, please pass them onto Becky. Katherine is going to send around an exciting email about potential Jellyfish costumes for the themed ceilidh on the Thursday... 👾 *Warwick* - Emma will be chasing you for money if you have a partner ticket (£45). We don't yet have a timetable, so tickets home may be tricky, other than we are likely to be done by 5 on the Sunday. *Cambridge - *should hear back on the spot timings soon, so hopefully get a better picture of the plan... *3. Other sign-ups* 7th September London Folk Festival has been declined, we don't have enough people that want to go / go during the evening which is when they would like us. 8th September - Sue's street party - This looks like we have enough of us, so I have changed it to confirmed. Don't forget to think about Bath Time, Dance around the World, Thrales Day etc. as these will soon come around... Sign-up sheet here as always: https://docs.google.com/document/d/11XHQc6j0g7HQto7rhOs6k0bfkw-XmFb8jmCeRa4… *4. Kit * If you have borrowed kit from anyone for Saturday, please return it afterwards. I would like to get back to a place where people with kit have all the pieces - will make any future loans a lot more simple! (And hopefully avoid the 10 mins each practice while people remember who they borrowed it from) I think there is one person who has yet to hand back a Westerhope necker... (based on a quick count this morning) please bring this on Monday. Thanks, Hannah

Very random question, Beth in Star and Shadow's sister is down this weekend doing something at the Royal College of music but her accommodation has fallen through at the last minute. Beth has appealed to us in case anyone has room for her. Sue has kindly said she has room but there might be someone who is closer? She's 17 and would be around from 12th-14th? I'm told she is very low maintenance 🙂 Thanks in advance. Becky
